To all wilma it may concern: A

Be itlmown that I, MILTON ScnNAIna, a citizen of theUnited States, residing at the city of New York,

` borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New r York, have invented certain new and useful ImprovementsinCesspools, of which the following is a full, clear and exact specication.

My invention relates to improvements in drain conf structions,;and the same has for its object more particularly to` provide a cesspool for use in stables and otherstructures adapted to be flushed. 2

Further said invention has for its object to provide a simple, I eicient and inexpensive cesspool which may. be readily and conveniently connected to the waste or drain pipe in such a manner as to produce a permanent and perfectly watertight closure at the junction of the wastepipe with the cesspool.

Plumbers have long been confronted with the problem of making a perfectly watertight joint at the place where the ccsspool `is connected to the waste pipe. The difliculty in making such a closure has been due largely to the fact that the waste pipes are usually of large diameter; the space between the beams small (varying lbetween twelve and eighteen inches) and finally the depth of the cesspool and the inclination of the waste pipe usually such as to render it impossible for the plumber to gain access to the place or point where the closure is to be effected. Further, even when a fairly tight closure has been effected, it becomes diicult to maintain it sopparticularly in the case of stables where the animal urine contacting with the exposed metal and settling in the joints soon has the effect of corroding the parts and producing leaks.

To ythe attainment of the objects above set forth and the overcoming of the difficulties pointed out, my invention consists in the novel details of construction, and in the combination, connection-and arrangement oi parts hereinafter more fully described and then pointed out inthe claims.

In the accompanying drawings forming part of this specification, wherein like numerals of reference indicate like; parts, Figure l is a central vertical section taken on the line 1-1 of Fig. 2 showing'a cesspool made accordingto and embodying my invention, Fig.

2 is a plan or top view of the same; Fig. 3 is a central vertical section taken on the line 3-3 oi Fig. 4 illustrating a modified construction, and Fig. 4,is a plan or top view thereof. l

In said drawings 10 designates the cesspool consisting oi a circular receptacle or basin 11 having a recessed laterally vprojecting Bange 12 at its upper edge adapted to receive a removable perforated plate or grating 13 j which lmay be secured thereto by screws 14 as' shown a hub or sleeve 17 which is preferably made integral therewith, and has a portion 18 which extends upwardly therefrominto said receptacle 11, and a portion 19 extending downwardly from the base of said receptacle 11 which is provided upon its outer surface with screw threads 20.

21 denotes a shoulder arranged upon the underside of the receptacle 11 and surrounding the sleeve portion 19; said shoulder having a plurality of concentric grooves or recesses 22 therein.

23 denotes a nozzle which is arranged upon the inner surface of the receptacle 11 near its upper edge, and connected with a source of water supply by a pipe 24.

The diameter of the portion 18 is made larger than that of the portion 19 which is just large enough toadmit themnd of a pipe, so as to form an inclined shoulder or abutment 25 within said sleeve.

Below the flange 12 of the receptacle 11 is disposed Ais shaped to form an outer receptacle 26 which is made of larger diameter than said receptacle l11 and surrounds the same, said receptacle 26 is provided at the center of its base with an aperture adapted to receive the threaded portion 19 of the sleeve 17. The edge of said receptacle 26 about the aperture being preferably made thicker to form a rim 28, against which a nut 29 working upon the threaded portion 19 of the sleeve 17 is adapted to bear and press the same against the shoul- A der 21 and into the annular grooves 22 therein whereby to hold said outer receptacle 26 duly in position below the receptacle 11, and at the same time form a watertight joint at said place, in order `to retain any iiuid matter which may possibly work its` way between the outer surface oi the receptacle 11, and the pitch or eement filling contacting therewith.

30 denotes a lateral flange extending outwardly from the I upper edge of the receptacle 26 which flange is adapted to be united by soldering to the edges of a pro. tective sheeting disposed about the cesspool below the floor level.

, 31 denotes the upwardly projecting end of a waste pipe which is adapted to fit snuglywithin the screwthreaded portion 19 of the sleeve 17, and has its upper edge on a level with that of the sleeve portion 18, and is secured therein by introducing and packing a quantity oi oakum 32 into the space intermediate the outer surface o`i the upper end of said pipe 31 and the inner surface of the sleeve portion 18, and thence calking the remainder of said space to the top of the pipe and sleeve with a quantity of molten lead 33. Hereupon the space surrounding the receptacle 26 andthe space intermediate the said receptacles 11 and 26 is filled with cement-84 to 'the level of the floor when the floor itself is made of cement, otherwise when a floor of wood or other material is provided, the filling which may be of cement, pitch or other water proof material should be larger diameter than the remainder thereof, said tubular 'ing their upper edges in alinement,

carried up to a point just below the finishing or covering material of the oor. n

In the modification illustrated at Figs. 3 and'4 the. structure as a whole is essentially the same as that herenabove described. In the present construction 35 denotes a receptacle or basin, 36 a recessed iange at its upper edge, 37 a periorated'plate or grating, 38 a hub` or sleeve arranged in the base of the receptacle 35, having screw-threads 39 upon its inner surface, and a shoulder 40, and screw-threads 41 upon the outer ysurface of the portion projecting below the baseof the receptacle 35. 42 denotes a sheet metal flashing forming a receptacle which is secured in position below the receptacle 35 by a nut 43. 44 denotes a nozzle arranged in saidreceptacle35 below its top and connected by a pipe 45 with a source of water supply, and 46 denotes a bellshaped trap-cover secured to the underside of the apertured plate 37, having its lower edge extending below the top of the sleeve 38 and the end of theV pipe therein. 47 denotes the upturned end of the Awaste' pipe which Ais provided upon its outer surface with screw threads adapted to engage those upon the inner surface of the hub or sleeve 38, and 48 denotes a water proof filling disposed around andswithin the receptacle' 37, and extending to substantially the height of the floor level. v 1

It is to be particularly noted that in my improved construction the upper edge of the upturnedend of the waste pipe may be brought to within a very few inches of the floor level, and that the cesspool and the sleeve member thereof extend over and inclose the top end of said pipe,` and that the union of said pipe with Athe. sleeve portion of the cesspool receptacle and the flooring or material contacting therewith may b e readily and tightly sealed from .within the cesspool receptacle after the cover plate has been removed, and that by extending the ange of theouter receptacle or flashing a -suiii-v cient distance, all possibility 'of fluid matter passing between the outer surface of said outer receptacle will be obviated.
